Very good info, thanks!

Small correction/addition: Dave said that he torqued the bolts holding the front caliper mounting to 59 ft-lbf and then for the rear brakes he used the same torque. I see in the service manual that the torque should be 59 ft-lbf for the front but for some reason it has only 49 ft-lbf for the rear.

Also the service manual says that the 2 bolts holding the caliper mounting, the 4 bolts holding the hub and the rear axle nut are all non-reusable parts . Usually most of us would reuse such bolts without thinking too much about them, but we already know that the OEM bolts holding the wheel in place aren't strong enough to withstand repeated use. So I don't feel good about reusing other bolts that Subaru says shouldn't be reused.
quirkparts.com has the P.N. 902170049 for the axle nut but so far I couldn't find the part number for the other non-reusable bolts
